33's you can squeak by without either.

Then after a year with 35's will you want 37's

Where does it end!!

IF you figure the axle/wheel overall length and actual shock location at say a 45degree angle. The tire/wheel should have a little bit more travel than the shock does. Because one side of the axle is moving and not the entire axle and the shock location is in further from the wheel. IF the entire axle was moving at the same rate, then yes shock travel would equal tire/wheel travel. Like going in a circle. the outer most part is a larger circumference than the inner part.
